Sonic Spinball (Sega Genesis, 1993)

This game is a fancy pinball game. The ball is Sonic and you play in 4 fancy pinball machines, regular video game worlds. This is a great game to have and can be challenging as the ball (Sonic) has a mind of its own and you can't control it most of the time. The final world is very and the most challenging. I first played this game at a relatives house when I was 10 and loved it alot. I owned it years later and will be getting it again very soon. It's a unique Sonic game and I like the pinball atmosphere of it and don't like the final world as much since it's very challenging.

Sonic Spinball for the Sega Genesis is a pinball-like game with Sonic the Hedgehog as the ball! The gameplay is excellent for it's creation time, as all Sonic the Hedgehog games are, and if you learn a few cheats and codes, you can play with zero gravity or start with 9 lives instead of 3! In order to advance to the boss level and pass each pinball stage, you must collect three Chaos Emeralds, except the last level where I believe you need to collect either four or five. Though I have not yet beaten the game, I enjoy it's standard semi-hard difficulty that all Sonic the Hedgehog games have. This game can also be a multiplayer game. The graphics and music are great for the 1990's, quite advanced for that time, too. I am a Sonic the Hedgehog fan and I bought this game to complete my Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog game collection. If anyone has a working Sega Genesis, I recommend purchasing and playing this game!

Sonic Spinball is just what you expect, it's a pinball game with Sonic in it. The story goes that Sonic has to stop Robotnik and has to get past the "Veg-O Fortress", the Pinball part. It is a fun game to play and easy to get into. It feels like an actual pinball table, and has a Sonic feel with Rings, Badniks, and a boss at the End of Each level. It's a nice addition to any Genesis collection.

I thought this game was good, and every now and then i will play it still to this day. I would give this a 8.5/10 though. It was never my favorite Sonic game on sega outside of the mian series. It can be challenging and lots of fun and keep you entertained for hours.

Sega went in yet another direction with this release. Taking Sonic out of his usualy island world and putting him somewhat in a box as a pinball. The graphics are quite nice and live up to sonic's reputation of gaming. Playability is a bit of a bore unless you're a hard core pinball enthusiast, don't expect lots of levels or missions here. You've just got to bounce around. The sound effects and animation, are up to par and pass. Overall i give this a 4/5. :)
